2025 Onion River Ramble🛶

Join us for a 5-mile paddle down a mellow stretch of the Winooski River from Bolton to Richmond! There will be safety boaters on the water to assist as needed. Note that the start time of 10:30 am is the time that ramblers will begin their paddle! Please arrive between 9 and 9:30 to drop off your boat, sign your waiver, and drive to the take-out for a (free) shuttle back to the put-in. Please register in advance to reserve your seat on the shuttle as space is limited!
Rain or shine

The put-in is the Long Trail River Access lot at 1782-2410 Duxbury Rd. in Bolton. Parking is very limited, so please plan on only temporarily parking to unload your boat and check-in with Friends of the Winooski.

The take-out will be Volunteers Green located at 286 Bridge St, in Richmond where ramblers can gather and eat. Upon registration, there is an option to select Onion River Ramble 2024 (+Lunch) for an additional $5, which will be a fine assortment of deli sandwiches, plus snacks and drinks from Richmond Market.

Proceeds benefit the Friends' work to protect and restore the Winooski River watershed. We look forward to a safe and fun day on the water!
